*knock knock*
*knock knock*
''Ungh...'' a tired Nicole grunts, clambering out of bed at the sound of someone knocking at the door. While she has always disliked the thought of visitors, due to how 'normal' people would usually treat her, she also knows that she needs to answer the door when people knock, because they're usually here for good reason. Nicole doesn't often get visitors who just want to visit her, rather... they usually prefer to treat her like an animal.
